The results of echocardiographic study of 87 children with coarctation of aorta before and after surgical treatment are presented.All children were broken down in two groups: patients with a low ejection fraction and those with a normal one.While determining the type of left ventricle remodeling, eccentric hypertrophy was revealed in 46% of patients hydrangea red sensation in the first group, mainly in children with a preductal variant of aorta coarctation.
It was found out that the echocardiographic characteristics of the first group patients, who underwent surgery at the age of more than 6 months, were restored slowly.In general, LV functional characteristics were restored faster than the geometrical ones.When studying a longitudinal function of the left ventricle, an increase in the index beer button down shirts for men of myocardial contractility and a decrease in the myocardial rates in 100 % of cases were revealed.
